The weather on the day was not good from the morning, but by the evening, the sun began to peek through the clouds at the summit. The massive crater towards the Big Island was shrouded in gas, so we couldn't see it in its entirety, but in the opposite direction, the orange sunset slowly spread over the sea of clouds far below, briefly glowing green before disappearing. The people watching it appeared like silhouettes against the orange screen. Once it was completely enveloped in twilight, we descended a little from the summit and were treated to a starry sky. The stars shone overwhelmingly, covering the night sky, and the Milky Way flowed across the vast sky like a silver river. After nodding in agreement with my partner, we looked through two telescopes at the Large Magellanic Cloud, Jupiter, and Saturn surrounded by its elongated rings. It was truly an extraordinary experience. Thank you to our driver who explained various things along the way, including Haleakalā and Maui.
当日の天候が朝から良くなかったのですが夕方近くから日差しが見えてきて頂上では雲の隙間から太陽がのぞいてきました。ハワイ島方向の巨大クレーターは、ガスがかかって全体を見ることはできませんでしたが、その反対方向にはオレンジの夕日が足元から広がる雲海の遥か先にゆっくりと、最後に一瞬緑に光って消えていきます。それを見守る人々はオレンジのスクリーンに映る影絵の様相。すっかり夕闇に包まれたころ頂上から少し降りたところで星空を見せてくれました。圧倒的に夜空を覆い尽くして輝く星々、大空を大河のように横切って流れる銀河はまさに銀の河、天の川。「こんなの子どもの頃に見たきりだ」と相方とうなづきあった後、二台の望遠鏡で見せてくれた大マゼラン星雲、木星や縦長の輪に囲まれた土星。
まさに非日常な出来事、体験でした。ハレヤカラやマウイなど様々な事を道中説明してくれたドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。

I had wanted to go at least once, so I applied for a plan that included sightseeing, not just the ferry ticket, but it was a disappointing tour. My impression is that it wasn't worth the high price I paid to participate. Just seeing Lanai from Lahaina was enough.
一度は行ってみたいと思って、フェリーチケットのみではなく観光付きのプランを探しもうしこみましたが、がっかりのツアーでした。
高いお金を払て参加するツアーではなかったなという感想です。
ラナイ島はラハイナから見るだけで十分でした。

I signed up with my 84-year-old mother. Although she is healthy, I was worried about whether she would be okay reaching the summit, but our guide, Yama-chan, welcomed us warmly without any signs of discomfort.
Yama-chan's thoughtfulness, the enjoyable conversations on the way to the summit, and the clear and detailed explanations during the sunset viewing and stargazing provided us not only with the beauty of the stars but also with opportunities to reflect on various aspects of life through nature.
This tour requires a permit, and it seems that only 11 people can participate in one vehicle. The other participants were also wonderful people, and we all took turns using the two telescopes without any fuss, marveling at the stars multiple times.
I would love to experience stargazing with Yama-chan again while enjoying our conversations!!!
84歳の母と申し込みました。元気な母ですが山頂まで大丈夫か心配していましたが、ガイドの山ちゃんは全くいやな顔をしないでとても歓迎してくれました。
とにかく山ちゃんの心配り、山頂へ向かう道中までの楽しい話、夕日観賞・星空観にはわかりやすく丁寧な説明、そして星の美しさだけでなく自然を通していろいろ人生を考える機会を与えてくれました。
このツアーには認可が必要で車1台に乗れる11人しか参加することが出来ないそうです。
参加された方もすごくいい人たちで二台の天体望遠鏡も取り合うことなくみんなで順番に感激しながら何度も観ました。
またぜひ山ちゃんと楽しくお話をしながらきれいな星を観てみたい!!!
I hope you are doing well. Your mother is very energetic, and I have gained strength from her as well. Please come to Maui again; I look forward to our reunion.

I made a reservation two days ago, and the response was smooth, allowing me to secure my booking right away! Kana, the Japanese guide, was very kind and took many photos for us. I recommend bringing an underwater camera! On the way to Molokini Island, I was incredibly moved when dolphins swam alongside the boat, and I got to see them up close for the first time! When the guide spotted a sea turtle, he called out loudly, and we were able to see it right away. It was amazing to see the sea turtle surface for air right in front of us! Next time, I want to go see whales!
2日前に予約しましが、返信もスムーズですぐに予約がとれました!
日本語ガイドのカナさんにとても親切にしていただき、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。水中カメラを持参される事をオススメします!
モロキニ島に行く途中、イルカが船に並走してくれて初めて間近で見れた時は凄く感動しました!海ガメもガイドさんが見つけると大きな声で呼んでくれてすぐに見る事ができました。海ガメが目の前で息継ぎを見せてくれて大感動でした!今度はクジラを見に行きたいと思います!

It was a private tour for just the two of us.
It was my first time on Lanai Island, and I was guided efficiently.
The only disappointing thing was my lack of English skills, but I felt like I understood about 30% and enjoyed myself.
On Lanai Island, you can feel the original Hawaiian landscape and the remnants of Japanese immigrants, which offers a charm that you won't find in Waikiki or Oahu. It's one of those places I want to visit again and again. The world of the three Ws—wind, waves, and birds—is primitive, simple, and filled with a charm that is almost a little scary.

This was my first time on Maui, and since my previous stargazing experience on Hawaii Island was very impressive, I decided to participate in this tour, which had received high ratings.
We barely made it in time for the sunset due to road conditions, but I was glad to capture the beautiful gradient of the sky in photos. The stargazing I was looking forward to was somewhat limited because the moon was bright, but I was able to see the craters of the moon through the telescope and take pictures, which was nice.
However, I found it a bit uncomfortable that the seating arrangement in the car remained the same throughout the trip. Those sitting in spacious areas could relax comfortably, while those in tighter spots had to place their bags on their laps and were in close contact with the person next to them, making it hard to relax. I wish there could have been a seat change for the outbound and return trips or that a slightly larger vehicle could have been used to accommodate luggage better.
初めてのマウイ島であり,以前のハワイ島での星空観測がとても印象的であったこと,ツアー自体の評価がとても高かったことから参加させていただきました.
夕日鑑賞は道路状況上,ぎりぎり間に合った感じではありましたが,きれいな空のグラデーションを写真に収めることができて,良かったです.
楽しみにしていた星空は,月齢の関係上,とても空が明るかったので星はやや少なめでしたが,その分月のクレーターを望遠鏡で見たり,写真にとることができてよかったです.
ただ,車の席がずっと同じ場所で,広いところに座っている人は車内でゆっくりくつろげ,狭いところに座っていた人は,荷物を自分の膝の上にのせながら,隣の人にがつがつと接触してとてもくつろげるような感じではありませんでした.
出来れば,行きと帰りで席替えをしたり,荷物を置けるようなもう少し大きな車を使用したりすることができなかったのかな,と残念に思いました.
We currently have a 12-passenger vehicle, but it has become cramped, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Please feel free to let us know if you have any luggage. There is a bit of space in the back, so...

It was a small group. And being so the crew was very personable and excellent and with the kids. It was nice having one on one time with various crew members.
As for the sights it was very poor visibility. The water due to abnormally large swells that had debris churned up. You couldn't see ten feet.
We did see lots of turtles and a few small fish. The divers did there best in showing us what they could. And they compensated us nicely in the end.
I would do it again.

We took a half-day trip from Maui to Lanai on November 12, with a guided tour of Lanai. It was a fabulous, educational experience and the highlight of our 11-day trip to Maui. Our guide, Bruce, was exceptionally knowledgeable on the island's history. He made the trip so enjoyable and, with the small number of people on each tour, it was very interactive. The online booking process was so easy. We were able to pick the exact date we needed to fit in with our vacation plans. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Horseback riding the West Maui Mountains made my trip! Absolutely, hands down, one of the best horseback riding tours I have ever been on. The guides take you to places you would never be able to walk or drive to otherwise. They do a great job matching you with a horse based on your skill level. The ride was rather long - 2 hours - 2.5 hours. It's definitely worth the money! It's very rare to be able to ride that long, canter, and gallop on a public horseback riding trail ride. The views are astonishing. We flew to Maui from Oahu specifically to horseback ride for my 33rd birthday. I am an experienced rider, who has owned a Thoroughbred mare, and competed Equestrian riding for over a decade. This excursion made my entire trip. Hands down the most amazing experience I have ever had on any excursion at any destination!

The schedule was good, and I didn't suffer from altitude sickness, even as an older person whose body responds more slowly. The sunset and starry sky were also beautiful. As for my thoughts outside of the main topic, I first stopped by a donut shop, but it's a place that's become boring even in Japan. Personally, I found it unremarkable. The souvenir shops I visited along the way were nice.
体の対応が鈍くなる老人にも高山病にもならず、スケジュールが良かったです。夕陽、星空も良く見えました。本題以外での感想です。最初にドーナツ店に入りましたが、日本でも飽きられた店です。私的には???。その他の途中に寄った土産店等は良かったです。
Thank you for participating in the star tour. There is one reason we stop by the donut shop: it's to prevent altitude sickness. If you ascend to 3,055 meters on an empty stomach, the thin air and different atmospheric pressure compared to sea level can make you feel unwell. Eating something beforehand tends to help prevent this. Taking breaks several times on the way to the summit also helps in preventing altitude sickness.
星ツァーご参加有難うございます。ドーナッツ店に立ち寄る理由が一つありまして、高山病予防なのです。空腹で3055メートルに登ってしまうと酸素が薄いのと気圧が平地と違いますので少しでも何か食べておきますと、体調が悪くなりずらい傾向があります。山頂まで数回、休憩を挟むのも高山病予防になのです。
